Hi.

I enjoyed the article about listening to baseball on the radio.  I remember
lying in bed when I was 9 or 10 years old, tuning the AM band to see how far
away I could hear.  I was in Boulder, CO, and I heard KNX in Los Angeles.  I
moved to Cincinnati a couple of years later, and heard KMOX broadcasting a
St. Louis Blues hockey game.  The Blues were the first NHL team I really
followed.  The farthest AM station distance wise that I've heard from
Lexington, Kentucky was KOA in Denver, at least I think it was, because I
remember the frequency it's on, and I heard a broadcast on that channel.  Of
course this was at night.  During the daytime, the farthest station I've
heard was from Fairmont, West Virginia.  I heard WLW in Cincinnati, over 200
miles away.  At present I'm not in a good location to do long distance radio
listening.  I use the internet and XM to hear sporting events.  I miss when
I could tune my radio to hear stations a good distance away.  Good article.
